Lisa & Graeme

Sam made the most stunning 3 tied cake for our wedding. Our flavours were lemon drizzle, classic victoria sandwich & Gin & elderflower sponge. The flavour of each layer was amazing and the handmade sugar craft roses and foliage were so lifelike. I was so excited to see the final cake and was stunned by how beautiful it looked.

Sam was an absolute pleasure to work with, her ideas, design, creativity & vision for what we wanted was brilliant.

She is one very talented lady and I would highly recommend her.

Excellent from start to finish

Sam visited us at home to discuss cakes ideas, designs and flavours. She made us feel relaxed and she listened to our wishes without pressuring us.
Sam made regular contact with us, keeping us up to date with progress. She arranged the delivery and set up of the cake, she supplied us with allergy information. I would highly recommend Sam to others.

Our dream wedding cake

We cannot recommend Sam enough! We absolutely loved our cake and it is testament to her skill as a baker and designer. Sam listened to our needs and worked with us to develop a design. We opted for Lemon, chocolate, salted caramel and vanilla as our tiers and received so many complements on the cake design and flavours! Sam also made sugar flowers for our cake based on my wedding bouquet and provides the materials to preserve the flowers afterwards.

Beautiful and personal wedding cake

I didn't have an exact design ready, but knew the style and what elements we wanted to incorporate in the cake. Samantha listened to the description and came back with a lovely design that was absolutely gorgeous in person. I was blown away by how realistic the flowers were (cherry blossom and roses). The design was very elegant, just as hoped, and the flavours were delicious too! Sam even incorporated a vegan top layer for us and a non-alcoholic vanilla. I had no worries on the day because she was liaising directly with the venue herself (Hever Castle), and it came just as expected with a beautiful cake stand of hers as well.

We'd leave a million stars if we could

Sam at Cake Innovations genuinely saved our wedding with this cake! Our original supplier pulled out 2 weeks before the day after finding out one of the guests had a nut allergy.
Sam was the only one willing to put the work in, emailing round to make sure the cake she made would be safe for our guest and I am so grateful that she did.
The cake was absolutely stunning, she listened to what we wanted and made beautiful personal touches. It tasted incredible as well!!

Thank you Sam, from the bottom of our hearts!

Amazing cake

From our very first consultation to the big day Sam was amazing.

Our cake looked and tasted out of this world and it was beyond our expectations. Our cake was not your traditional wedding cake but some how Sam still made it look elegant and beautiful.

We absolutely loved it and would absolutely highly recommend Sam, as you can see she is capable of any style of cake to suit your wedding theme!

Spectacular!!

We had 6 tier, rainbow wedding cake made. It was absolutely stunning! A true masterpiece! Each tier was a colour sponge matching the pastel colour version icing. 1 tier was gluten free. They all tasted delicious! Sam was so patient with dealing with my preferences. Everybody loved that cake, thank you so much Samantha!

Beautiful and masterful cake

We had a lovely wedding cake created by Sam which had two tiers one of which was vegan. Sam was very attentive to our requests and delivered very professionally. My husband and I have very different cake preferences and we both loved the flavours. Thank you Sam for all your help and hard work!

A unique design brought to life!

Working with Sam to design our perfect wedding cake was an absolute pleasure. She has so much enthusiasm and it really shows in her skill to produce such incredible cakes. We loved our unique black wedding cake with gothic arches, autumnal foliage, and her signature sugar flowers which look so realistic! So many of our guests commented on how beautiful it was in addition to the amazing flavours in each of our 3 layers. Sam also made some beautiful vegan cupcakes to match which were thoroughly enjoyed by our vegan guests. Thank you Sam!
